Nearly 1,000 miles of rugged scenery along the Continental Divide Trail link Yellowstone National Park to the border of Canada--and the story of that trek is exhilarating. Leland Howard's photographic tribute to this beautiful part of the Continental Divide, combined with Lynna Howard's reflective and insightful account of their experiences along the trail itself, lead the reader into parts of the country that remain for the most part wild and unexplored.

"On the Continental Divide, summer is a chimera whose light hand quickly releases its hold," Lynna writes. "It is this fleeting beauty, the changeable nature of the land and the weather, and the threat of danger behind it, that defines Idaho and Montana's Continental Divide National Scenic Trail."
